It may not, however, he uninteresting to our Readers, to peruse the obser vations of thu different French Papers upon the pre ' sent crisis, and the supposed policy of France : for this purpose, we insert in another column, a long article from the Constitutionnel, and another from the Qaotidienfle, examining the Speech of Mr. CANNING eu the Address to his MAJESTY on the late Mes utge to Parliament. The Etoile classes nearly the whole of the para graphs in the other papers, containing what may be called News, under the head of LIES OF THE DAY. On political events that paper preserves the most de terptined silence, justifying its taciturnity by the trite egression, that facts are much more instructive than lemmings. Tito following , is an extract from this wary Journal : (From the Etude, tinted Sunday.) PARIi, DEL'. 16.—The Journals accuse us of silence on limit& the political events which at this moment engage general atWation. This is doubtless because we have not added our par ticular reflectionsqo the narrative of facto; fur we shall not be hittotitherl with silence, with brevity, or delay, in the exposition Which we have published for some days past of the most import ant political documents. We are not disposed to abandon the tystem which we have hitherto followed. We think that facts are much more instructive than reasonings, and that the public ha the Journalcto have news rather than the private opinion of a few persons who compose them. Our readers will see in what fellows a proof that the Journals which reproach us for our si lence, would have dour much better to imitate it. LIES OF THE DAY. The whole No. of the Constitutionnel of to-day, except what it has borrowed from the Etoile • . The Aristarque.—Orders have been given in the military diPartment to march troops towards Bayonne. The Aristarque again.—We have it from excellent authority that a Minister has said, this very day, that he wished he were a hundred feet under ground, because M: de Villela had taken upon hint to make eugagements with England which could not be ful filled without dishonouring France. The Aristarque, for the third time.—lt is thought certain that there are at this moment above 240 Dcputies at Paris. Hence it is inferred that M. de Villele induces part of his friends from going to the Chambers. The Courrier Francais.—All the particulars which it relates of the Councils of Sunday and Monday. The Courrier Franeals again.—The Duke de Batman ad dresses his accounts from Portugal to the Quotidienne. The Constitutionnel.—;M.. de Mouatier arrived at Paris two days ago ; but his return from Madrid is still a mystery. The Constitutionnel again.—Two thousand muskets have been sent from Pampelima, to arm the Royalists in NSIVEITII; and this in concert with the French Military Authorities. The Courrier Francais.—The President of the Coun cil writes in one manner, and the heads of the respective departments adopt a different language. * The Constitutionnel announces, among other news, dm fonr Ministers are going to retire. We copy from a Cotemporary (the New letter from Ancona ' of the Ist inst., furnishing some interesting particulars of recent events in Greece. The affairs of that country, though partially eclipsed by the occurrences of the last few days, must ever be interesting to Englishmen, not only from the early as sociations with which that classic land is connected, hut on account of the oppressions which it has suffered from the modern Vandals who have overrun it, and the natural sympathy which every Englishman feels for those who are struggling for liberty against the iron band of tyranny. These are sufficient grounds for publishing news from Greece, without justifying it as our cotemporary does by laying " that the affairs of Greece should not be lost sight of, because it is with in the range of possibilities that Grecian independence may be played of against schemes cl Continental despotism.' times) a All accounts from France seem to lead to the con clusion that M. VI LI, ELE'S party have, for the present, 4 All events, triumphed, and that the measures whioh Great Britain has adopted will not only meet with no opposition from the Court of France, but that, on the , other hand, the French Government will co-operate with us in causing rERDINAND to retrace his steps, and make reparation for the past, as far as can be done in the present abject state of his kingdom. Entertaining, however, an opinion founded on facts, which could not bear two constructions, that. Spain haa been encouraged by French intrigue in the course she has pursued with regard to the affairs of Portugal, and that the same party which has, up to this time, had the means of influencing the Court of Madrid, may continue Sufficiently powerful to produce a continuance of the same • effect ; we can by no means lull our selves into the security with respect to the policy of the Court of France, which some of our cotem poraries would wish to do. We cannot forget that the Apostolic party forced France into the military occupation of. Spain, and that it has succeeded in con tinuing the occupation of that country by French troops, notwithstanding the repeated professions of M. VII.- LELE. We cannot forget also, the ambition of the French nation, and that innate enmity to British in terests, which more or less actuates every man in the country. These two principles acting in concert, will, we have little doubt, sooner or later, bring us into collision with the French nation, upon the affairs of the Peninsula, whatever may be the present profes sions, and, perhaps, real wishes of the ostensible Mi- nister of France. We cannot also divest our mini of the apprehen sion that other Governments, whose very existence depends upon the maintenance of arbitrary power, will not view with entire indifference the pnrt which we have so manfully determined to take for the preserva tion of a liberal Constitution in Portugal, against bigotry and despotism. Will not some of those countries urge France to a course at variance with her present declarations? And will not the jealousy of the power of England, which those countries undoubtedly feel, urge them to take still stronger measures than merely instigating France to act ? . We holie that we may be mistaken, but we, cannot entirely free our minds from apprehension—not of the power of other countries to harm us—but that the per fect security in which some people rely with regard to the conduct of France, on the present occasion, may not be entirely realised. We receivecl i ,this morning the Journal of the Two Sicilies, of the 27th of November, which contains the following Royal order, respecting the working o' Mines in the kingdom. NAPLFS, Nov. 27. Francis L, by the grace of God, King of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilia, of Jerusalem, &c. Duke of Parma, Piacenza, Castro, &e., Seeing Art. 477 of the Civil Law, desiring to amend the law mentioned in that article, and at the same time to promote the search for, and the working of, mines in our dominions on both sides of the Faro ; Seeing the opinion of the General Council of the kingdom, on the proposal of our Minister Secretary of State for the affairs of the kingdom, and with the advice of our Council of State; We have resolved to sanction, and we hereby sanction, the following law : Art. I. Mines, whether of metals or semi-metals, also of coals, between alum apd sulphate, with metallic bases, may be worked freely, and without needing permission from us, by private per sons, the proprietors of the estate on which they are found ; and they may do this themselves or by others. Art. IL Whenever, in an estate which is private property, there are evident signs which, according to the principles of mine ralogy, indicate the existence of a mine of the substances men tioned in the preceding article, and the proprietor of the mine does not think proper to work it either himself or by means of others, in this case permission may be granted by us to such per son as shall apply for it in the manner contained in the following article, and after a suitable time has been given to the proprietor to undertake the work, and he has suffered it to elapse without riding so, the person receiving permission must give compensa tion to the proprietor of the land, either by agreement or by arbi- tration befo . re 1 . 1 Judge. Art. 111. Thattenactrnents of the two preceding articles shall apply to mines which may be found in the lands of communes, pions foundations, and public establishments. Art. IV. The above••meutioned bodies being under our care, the administrators before they can undertake any operations, are to transmit to its, through the competent Authorities, a detailed statement of the intended proceeding, that the ntility-of the un; dertating may be examined into. Art. V. If the said mines are on lands belonging to the State, they cannot be worked without our special permission. Among the other Articles, the law, consisting of 91 in all, the following are the principal enactments :—The proprietors of tha adjoining estates to be indemnified by any injury done them by working the mines, which may be carried under the surface of the contiguous lands, the proprietors of which cannot hinder it, but a compensation is to be given them. Mines of rock-salt, sulphur, quarries of stone, marble, granite, Bsc. &e. in short 'of all sub ' stances not mentioned in the tirst Ariiele, are not included in the law. Ores of gold, silver, and other metals are mot to he export ed to, other countries, but must be first • melted. His MAJ 'MY'S Government have finally determined not to fiU up at present the appointment of Governor of Malta, vacant by the death of the Marquis of Hatrrtucs. That colony is to be re duced to a Lieutenant-Government; and Major-General the Hon. FKEDERIVX PONSOI4IIY, now second in command in the lonian Islands, and who has administered the Government during the abseuce of Sir Faziountcx ADAM, has been nominated for the appointment. This arrangement has been in contemplation for some days, but we have reason to believe was not decided ou till yesterday. We understand that Lient-General the Honourable Sir L. Cot.r. obtains the Colonelcy of the 27th regiment of foot, vacant by the death of the Mariptis of HASTINGS, and that Lieutenant- Geueral Sir Taint AS BR 'SRA NE, obtains the Colonelcy of the 34th Foot, vice Sir L. Cot,E. We understand that a gentleman has arrived in town, who left Gibraltar on the 28d November. Previously to his departure an order came to prepare two regiments for embarkation for Portugal, He proceeded to Cadiz, where the French garrison consisted of 10,400 men. The gentleman next proceeded to Lisbon, and while going up the Tagus he met two English slips of war going to sea, one of which sailed to the northward, and the other to the westward. An English regiment was to leave Malta for Gib raltar, to replace tbose destined for Lisbon. We regret to express our fears, that the report of the Master, received per Santa Rita, of the arrival of two steam-boats with troops from Lisbon being off Oporto, upon more particular inquiry, is totally untrue. We have heard of a letter from that city, dated December 9, in which it is stated the public mind was however more tranquil. It seems the Santa Rita sailed on the same day as the Fanny Voase—on the 7th lust. ? —and letters have since arrived a day later, which mention no such circumstance. THE FUNDS.

Mr. SHADW!LL stated that this cause same before the Court on the 18th of April, when a rule nisi was obtained by the plain tiff. Bond only showed cause against the rule, and drew up au order that the cause should be set down for hearing next after the causes then on the paper. The Learned Gentleman apprehended that the proper course would have been, to draw up the order so as that " a short day" might be fixed for bearing it. In support of this position he cited the case of the Margravine of Anspach v. Noel, which having come before the Court under somewhat similar circumstances to the resent, the Lord Chancellor ordered that it be set down for the " next Thursday," observing at the same time that the practice of placing such causes at the bottom of the list was productive of great delay and injustice. The Parma Gentleman now applied to his Honour that the cause be fixed for an early day. Mr. BICKERSTETN appeared for the defendant. The VICE-CRAlrczu.oft-1 have no doubt but that the de fendant obtained the proper orders, but when you come here now with a special application, the Court, - taking into considera tion the number of causes improperly : standing before it, and the evil which may result from delay, consents that the case be ad vanced. At a subsequent part of the day, Mr. Rousso moved that an order which-had been obtained for dismissing a bill for want of prosecution be rescinded, on the ground of want of notice on the part of the SOlicitor. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I will not snake the order unless the other party consents. The inattention which prevails in the con duct of Chancery suits has become a crying evil, and I will never give any iddulgence to patties in such a situation. MONEYPENNY V. IfrABTLAND. Mr. HEatn moved that the injunction granted in this_case be continued. The 'plaintiff had been employed as engineer to con struct a bridge over the Severn, and subsequently became a sub scriber to the work to the amount of 2,500/. The proprietors, however, disliking his services, gave him notice that they would dispense with them. The plaintiff on this applied for his sub scription, which WAS refused He was, .in the first instance, advised to bring an action for the recovery of his demand ; but it was afterwards discovered that, as a partner in the undertaking, he could not proceed at law, his only mode of obtaining justice being by a bill in equity, which was accordingly filed. His Honour, however, was of opinion that there could be no difficulty in trying the matter at law, provided the defendants were restrained from setting up any question of partnership; and an order to that ef fect was then made by his Honour ; before the trial the defendants gave notice of their intention of setting up what was tine on the subscription from theplaintiff. A verdict was found for the plain iff to the amount of 7501., and the defendants, notwithstanding hat verdict, were now about to bring an action fur the sub- scription. The'Vwx-CuANcetr.on thought the present motion unneces sary,"as the former order of the Court must have gone to restrain the defendants from proceeding against the plaintiff until the action at law had been tried, " and until the further orders of the Court." Mr. DucKwomi and Mr. lixst.n expressed their belief that the order ran thus :—" or," until the further order of the Court. The Vicz-CHANcitt.oft—That is not the usual mode of draw ing up such orders; and if any mistake has here occurred, you can mention the caseagaiu. BEAUVOIR. V. KIIODES., The facts of this case have been so often before the public, that any recapitulation of them at present must be unnecessary. Mr. PENtarwroti now moved that the defendant he ordered to • pay into Court an arrear of rent due since the 29th of September last ; and that he be further ordered to pay into .Court, for the future, each quarter's rent within ten days after it should be come due. An order nearly the sane had already been made, but u it did not specify within what particular time the rent was to be paid in, it became difficult to enfore the regular payment. Mr. IfEat.o strongly opposed the motion, which, he said, in volved the entire question which had been already nearly fifty times befttre the Lord Chancellor. The Vice CHATirif.l.oll.—Then you had better take it before his Lordship. • Suppose the lease was to be avoided there would not be so much due as the plaintiff alleges. This application would not, I am sure, take up one minute of the Lord Chancel lor's time, he most he so well acquainted with all the eircum- stances. Mr. HEALD observed, that it was one of those tricks usually played off when Courts had a concurrent jurisdiction. COURT OF KING'S BENCII4—(THts DAY. LEWI3 V. WOOD AND ANOTHER. (This ca. , :e Acciwied the Court , all the morning, and my-, ma Oluishid witewwitlyon; .40 Prom! )* COURT OF EXCHEQUER—Juts DAY.) CALMADV V. BOVE4. This ease was continued from yesterday. It was a bill for a per petual injunction against au action to recover the value of a certain bond executed by . the late Admiral Calnunly (whose widow is the plaintiff in this case?, in favour of his brother, the late Colonel Everard, whose administrating creditor is the defendant. It ap peared that Admiral Cahuady had married a Lady of great for. ! tune, on condition of taking her name, and had front time to time given pecuniary assistance to his brother who was in embarrassed circumstances. On one occasion, he lent his security for a considerable sum, and not being able to meet the payment, be bad written to the Colonel, promising, that if not, Colonel Eyerard would sell out some stock to meet the demand ; that the Admiral would exe cute a hand, allowing him the same annual sum that the stock had formerly prothteed . him. That bond was exe cuted. The ColOnel; however, had written to the Admiral that upon the receipt of 500/. which he Juni promised him, the luma should be cancelled. The Admiral could not pay more than. 400/., and the usual allowance was continued till the death of the latter. At that time the Admiral's widow refused to continue it ; the Colonel brought an action to recover but the widow obtained a common injunction against that action, which was not answered by the Colonel. The case remained in state quo till the Col. died, when an administrating creditor got hold of the bond, and brought his to recover the amount of the stock sold out, or the annuity, for the life of the Colonel. The plaintiff therefore, prayed fora perpetual injunction, and that the bond be cancelled. The Lord CHIEF BARON granted the perpetual injunction, upon the plaintiff paying 100/. to the defendant, and that the bowl he given up to be cancelled. SECONDARIES' OFFICE.--O'His DAT.)

The St. Patrick Assurance Com pany, it appears by the Irish papers, have got themselves into ch a ncery ; and the Shareholders quarreling among thernseiveas and with the Directors. How the parties who have effected in surances in the latter Company, and have claims, are to come off, has yet to he seen ; and a wish cannot help being expressed, that they may get well oitt of the scrape.

A report reached the City late yesterday afternoon, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced his intention to retire from office on account of the declining state of hi. health. This report is supposed to have made some slight impression on the funds, which are g enerally susceptible of any change in the existing Finance Minister, whatever his course of policy may, have been. At least, as the news from the Continent was not unfit ' vourable, it appeared the only explanation of • the decline which took place this morning. The Lord Bishop of London has presented the Rev.
